This week, I've adjusted my routine a bit again – between studying, everyday life, and my treatments, I love products that are reliable, soothe the skin, and visibly nourish it at the same time. Here are my current 5 skincare favorites that I can't live without this week:
This cleansing gel has been accompanying me through my routine for a few days now – gentle, natural and perfectly tailored to sensitive skin.
It is pH-neutral and contains organic chamomile and probiotics – ideal when my skin is more sensitive or I experience hormonal fluctuations.
🌿 Why I love it: It gently removes makeup, doesn't dry out the skin, and smells heavenly and soothing - perfect after a long day in the studio.
💬 Tip: For sensitive skin or in case of hormonal fluctuations.
This serum is my insider tip for redness, blemishes and oily skin.
It combines high-dose niacinamide (10%) with zinc (1%) to regulate excess sebum, refine pores, and visibly reduce imperfections. At the same time, hyaluronic acid provides the necessary moisture – without weighing the skin down.
✨ My game changer: helps with redness and noticeably refines my skin's appearance - especially during stressful weeks.
📌 Application: Morning & evening after toner, before cream.
This rose water is one of my absolute must-haves – especially when my skin is stressed or slightly irritated.
Farfalla's rose hydrosol is pure, alcohol-free, and has a wonderfully regenerating and soothing effect . I use it in the morning after cleansing and throughout the day to refresh myself—especially now in early summer.
💧 This is how it works for me: to refresh – also great for soothing skin after treatments like microneedling.
🌸 Tip: Store in the fridge for an extra freshness boost.
Microneedling has become a staple part of my weekly skincare routine. The Angel Kiss Derma Roller with 192 genuine stainless steel needles is perfect for anyone who wants to gently improve their skin texture and increase the absorption of active ingredients at home.
I use it once a week in the evening—especially on my forehead, cheeks, and chin. It helps smooth out small scars and uneven skin.
⚠️ Important: Always disinfect with alcohol before and after use! Do not use if you have active acne or very sensitive skin.
⚠️ Caution: If you have active acne or very sensitive skin, consult your doctor beforehand.
This cream is my absolute evening ritual – with its 2-in-1 formula as a serum and cream, it saves time and gives my skin intensive care.
Organic lavender soothes , while hyaluronic acid provides long-lasting moisture. The texture is light, absorbs quickly, and leaves skin feeling relaxed and smooth – without a greasy residue.
🌙 I use it in the evening after toner or an active ingredient serum - sometimes I combine it with a few drops of oil for even more care.
✨ My conclusion:
Every week is different—but with a few tried-and-true products, my skin feels stable, cared for, and balanced. I'm only sharing what I've actually tested. Maybe there's something there for you, too 💗
